SacRT to receive $76.85 million for new zero-emission buses

SACRAMENTO – Over $2 million in federal funding is being allocated to help California reach its goals for zero-emissions travel, California Senator Alex Padilla announced on Tuesday.

The money is being divided across 16 state projects, including nearly $77 million being granted to Sacramento Regional Transit. The selected projects all focus on the transition to low-emission bus models.

The funding is a part of the federal Low or No Emission Grant program.
